Notes from the Edit Dragon

I will not conduct research for you, nor will I create new content. Any suggestions or recommendations I provide are not intended to replace the advice and direction of your professor, chair, mentor, advisor, or other reviewers of your work. 

However, I believe that good editing includes a certain amount of moral support and coaching to help bring out or restore your enthusiasm and drive to succeed. I have found that by serving as an editor-coach to patiently work with authors to "tame the dragon," they become energized to complete their paper and continue to the next challenge!

You can break up the payments, if that is more convenient for you. However, I will not begin editing until the first payment is received, and before returning the edited document, I must receive all payments.
